PEOPLE or CITIZEN WHICH ONE ARE YOU?


 PEOPLE

The Preamble does not specifically definne the word "People." Nevertheless, the definition becomes apparent in the context of the other words and prior history.

 

HISTORY

Before the United States existed, there was no legal government. A group of representatives, acting "in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies," declared the independence of the colonies from the British Crown and the state of Great Britain. From the beginning, in the 1776 Declaration of Independence, the people were acknowledged as the source of authority, i.e. the sovereignty which authorized the Declaration of Independence. Next came the 1778 Articles of Confederation. The states that existed by the authority of the people, created those Articles while in Congress assembled. That didn't work as well as expected. In 1787 the people themselves came forth "to ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America" [see Preamble]. On September 17th, 1787, the states held a convention and all those present unanimously joined in. [see last paragraph of U.S. Constitution] So, in 1787, unanimous concurrence was achieved and the Constitution was born, later to be ratified.
